Hmmm, I did drive from Cooperstown to Boston for a Prom once, but there's a REALLY long story behind that one. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:]]> News rparker https://guitarnoise.forum/news/made-my-first-money-playing/#post-358921 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/made-my-first-money-playing/#post-358905 Sun, 12 Sep 2010 12:37:41 +0000 News Nuno https://guitarnoise.forum/news/made-my-first-money-playing/#post-358905 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/made-my-first-money-playing/#post-358901 Sun, 12 Sep 2010 06:06:10 +0000 News Moonrider https://guitarnoise.forum/news/made-my-first-money-playing/#post-358901 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/made-my-first-money-playing/#post-358893 Sat, 11 Sep 2010 22:12:10 +0000
I remember my first gig. There I was, on stage at a junior high school dance, playing music with my friends, and that cute girl who wouldn't even acknowledge my existence in English class was now making eyes at me. And at the end of the night they actually paid me money!!!!!! I've been playing music ever since, and it's a good life.

I hope your music and your life is good to you too.

Music, money and girls, what else matters?

We hadn't rehearsed in like 2 months, because of stuff, but the singer got us this gig and we all agreed. So we went just flying blind really, but we got there, and we played and it was good, I won't say it was great :P, it could have been way better, but they don't know that ( the people) and besides we were all a bit skeptic about keeping the band alive but after tommorrow we are pumped and are gonna start practicing on friday.

The reason why it was good is because we are all pretty good, "experienced" musicians. I say experienced for our ages ( 15 - 18) we've all been playing for a while, and have been playing together for a while, so yeah.

I didn't know we were gonna get payed, but they slipped us an envelope during the service, and we were all O_O.

But yeah over there we met another band that took our number so they will recommend us if anybody asks or in whatever they can, they were older than us but they were impressed with us, so yeah.

There were a couple cute girls that were looking at us, haha what a weird feeling being the cool band xD. But that place is too far away from my house so, no long distance relationships xD.

After that we headed to a fast food joint to bask in the awesomeness. And I was also really hungry I hadn't eaten anything since midday, only a tiny chunk of Lasagna I got my hands on before we left. I ate and then I played pranks on my band mates who fell asleep on the way home. I woke them all up with Canada's national anthem, blaring in their faces ( through my phone).

I got home at 2 am, only my little Shitzu was here to receive me, everybody else was asleep, so I posted here while I waited for my room to cool up.

Awesome!]]> News Coolnama https://guitarnoise.forum/news/made-my-first-money-playing/#post-358879 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/made-my-first-money-playing/#post-358869 Sat, 11 Sep 2010 12:06:35 +0000 News JoeHempel https://guitarnoise.forum/news/made-my-first-money-playing/#post-358869 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/made-my-first-money-playing/#post-358868 Sat, 11 Sep 2010 11:07:20 +0000
Don't tell the taxman, or he'll want a share.
